Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

The words of Pei Qian stunned everyone.

What the hell?

The consortium is myself?

These large consortia in cyberpunk have always represented extreme monopoly capital, the root of all suffering in the cyberpunk world, and the evil representatives of the exploitation and squeeze of ordinary people at the bottom.

As long as it is a cyberpunk theme, these big consortia are undoubtedly the biggest villains.

But now, the cyberpunk theme that Pei always wants to do is to include all Tenda's industries? And become a big villain?

It's outrageous!

Everyone instantly understood, why not use the story background of "Better Tomorrow".

Because "Better Tomorrow" has a ready-made world view, although it is rather vague, the various advertisements embedded in it have actually framed a soft boundary.

If you want to use Tenda's industry as the big consortium in the story, it will conflict with the world view setting of "Better Tomorrow". In fact, it is difficult to get inside.

Some people also understood what Mr. Pei said before, "in the future universe of parallel time and space, a virtual city in an overhead world".

Parallel time and space means that this world also has Tenda and Tenda's various industries;

The future universe means that the Tenda industry has developed into a monopolistic super consortium, which is a state in the future;

Overhead world and virtual city means that the whole world view has nothing to do with the current world or Jingzhou.

But in any case, putting Tenda's own industry into the game, becoming a big consortium, and the incarnation of big capital, it sounds a bit wrong...

Because these industries are all around, they may even be brought up by these responsible persons, so they are all too familiar.

This is like letting a person who is deeply influenced by Eastern culture create a superhero story with a Western cultural background based on himself.

It must be awkward how to make up.

Zhu Xiaoce hesitated for a while and then said: "So... the villain is ourselves? What about the decent? Who will resist us?"

Pei Qian said: "Everyone."

"Everyone in the entire world must resist us."

"However, they are bound to fail. After all, Tenda is invincible."

Everyone looked at each other again.

Something is wrong, the more you listen, the more ridiculous.

Everyone resisted? Isn't this the enemy of the whole people?

Although "Tengda is invincible" sounds good, but in such a worldview, the villain is invincible, and it feels more self-defeating...

Ye Zhizhou asked: "President Pei, you haven't said whether this game is a stand-alone game or an online game."

Pei Qian thought for a while: "Stand-alone? No. Online games? Well...not all."

He also got into entanglement, always feeling that there is a problem with everything.

The stand-alone game is actually the way of the 3A masterpiece. The development cost is high, but the process is relatively controllable.

As long as the plot in the game is displayed down-to-earth, it will be an excellent work.

Of course, if the plot feeds shit, it is indeed possible to persuade players to retreat, but the rules that apply to other companies may not necessarily apply to Tenda.

For example, "Better Tomorrow", the plot was originally rushed to feed shit, but the final result is totally different.

In terms of Tenda's current success rate in single-player games, Pei Qian really has no confidence.

So, what about online games?

Pei Qian himself can't tell how to make online games for works of this size.

Make it into a traditional MMORPG? That definitely won't work, because it's completely incompatible with stand-alone games.

Pei Qian didn't want to give up the practice of single-player games, because it spent a lot of money, the upper limit of losing money was high, and the evil image of Tenda was more comprehensive.

Online games are relatively weak in terms of plot expression. If Tenda’s negative image is not well represented, it turns into an advertisement for Tenda’s industry, which is a big problem.

But Pei Qian also wanted to combine the gameplay of the online game with the stand-alone game a little bit, and engage in some show operations, so that the probability of failure would be greater.

After all, pure stand-alone and pure online games have been successful. If the two gameplays are kneaded together, maybe they can produce some wonderful chemical reactions?

Pei Qian thought for a moment: "Single machine with network gameplay!"

Regardless of the design, he is responsible for the design of the two game departments. He puts forward a concept, and it depends on the design.

Everyone took notes in small notebooks.

I don't know much, but I still write it down first and try to figure it out slowly.

The conference room fell into silence for a while, and Yu Fei raised his hand weakly and said, "President Pei, this background seems to be completely different from the background of my novel..."

Pei Qian asked in turn: "Didn't you just make a small part of the background of your novel? Since it doesn't have a big impact, you can slightly modify it."

Yu Fei: "This... also works."

Although the first reaction was a bit wrong, he thought about it carefully and he could indeed modify it.

Because of his low degree of completion of the world view, he hasn’t had any good ideas so far. If, according to Mr. Pei’s words, all Tenda’s industries are split into large consortia and penetrate all aspects of city life, that’s not the case. It is a good way.

At least he is very familiar with these industries, and there are many ready-made materials that can be used.

Moreover, people from the two game departments and Feihuang Studio will also participate in the development, and there will be a large number of conceptual design drawings. These pictures are very helpful to stimulate his imagination and inspiration.

As for the plots that have been written, most of them can be used, and the rest can be modified, or if you think of other ways to round it up, there is no problem.

Even after listening to Mr. Pei’s approach, Yu Fei had the urge to overthrow and rewrite the current works.

Nothing at all!

Take a look at Mr. Pei, how fantastic his imagination is, and he is also very bold!

Huang Sibo had almost recorded it. He raised his hand and asked, "Mr. Pei, are the plots of the movie and the game still the same as in "Mission and Choice"? The plot of the movie is part of the plot of the game?"

Pei Qian immediately shook his head: "No!"

Just kidding, I will never make the mistake of "Mission and Choice" again!

The games of "Mission and Choice" have been sold out. One big reason is that you can play movies by playing games. Although RTS games are a niche game, many people who have no basis in RTS games can also have fun, because Simplified game operation mode, AI effect and smooth plot.

This time, if they were to be linked again, something serious would really happen.

Therefore, it must be split!

Pei Qian added: "Movies and games share a common background at best, but the story of the game must be completely separated and not have too many connections.

Ye Zhizhou raised his hand and asked: "President Pei, every department has to become a large consortium, which directly affects people's lives? The game industry too?"

Pei Qian nodded: "Yes, the game industry is easy to influence, you can think about it a little bit exaggeratedly, such as virtual reality games stealing user information, infringing on user privacy, allowing players to indulge in games and escape from real life, etc..."

"Think to the extreme and give full play to your imagination!"

Ye Zhizhou nodded silently and stopped talking.

Good guy, this is not something that an ordinary villain can do, it's the kind that is going to be nailed to a pillar of shame.

With this question from Ye Zhizhou, others basically knew it.

It is necessary to give full play to imagination, imagine the most extreme monopoly situation after the development of various departments and various industries, and then show it in games and movies.

What is the bottom line? There is no bottom line!

But since Mr. Pei said that the plots of the game and the movie just have the same background, and the details are irrelevant, it means that the game and the movie can focus on different aspects.

How to behave in detail has to be discussed in the long term.

President Pei’s assignments are becoming more and more simple, which shows that the capabilities of various departments are improving. President Pei no longer has to plan the game in detail as before. He can give a simple big framework, and then put the specifics. The work is given to the subordinates.

This shows that everyone's abilities have improved, and Mr. Pei's trust in everyone has also increased!

Although Mr. Pei's requirements are as broad as ever, and he has a wild imagination, but everyone is full of enthusiasm, and this project must be done well!

Seeing everyone's determined look, Pei Qian suddenly felt a little flustered.

It feels a bit wrong!

Did these people clearly understand my design intent?

It seems that there is no such thing.

I have to emphasize it again with them.

Pei Qian coughed slightly and said: "I'll be clear again that Tenda appears as the biggest villain in the background of this story. We should make players and audiences feel disgusted or even hated as much as possible. Never show any beautification. Or misinterpreted by the audience."

"I want them to see the serious consequences of Tenda becoming a monopoly in the future, understand?"

"Don't let them expect, and don't have any advertising effect."

Pei Qian knows very well that it is quite common for creators to be misinterpreted.

For example, there is a drama series. The original work itself is a dystopian theme. It arouses people's vigilance by describing a future world that looks beautiful but humane is extinguished.

But when this series was filming, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com accidentally shot this future world too beautifully. It was full of handsome men and beautiful women, advanced technology and no worries. Although there were some ironic content, it showed The gain is a little out of balance, so that the audience has a yearning for this world, sincerely feel that this world is very good, and want to travel through the past.

If this happens in the game that Pei Qian is going to do, then something big will happen.

Therefore, we must make it clear in advance to avoid misunderstandings by these creators.

Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce looked at each other, and obviously, the path they had thought of before was rejected by Mr. Pei.

But the problem is not big. The more Pei said, the clearer the direction.

Yu Fei said: "President Pei, then I definitely can't use the name of my current novel, or just change the name, do you have any good ideas?"

Pei Qian nodded slightly.

He had already considered it in advance, and this time he decided to take the most straightforward and least compelling name.

"It's called "The Future You Choose"!"
